Luke Littler hit two massive finishes – 167 and 160 – which saw Luke Humphries tease ‘The Nuke’
Luke Littler celebrated overtaking Luke Humphries as world No 1 with an imperious 16-11 victory as he retained his Grand Slam of Darts title in Wolverhampton.
The final was given extra edge after it was confirmed that Littler would take the world No 1 spot from Humphries through booking his place in the big dance, switching their places in the rankings just before the final and marking Littler as the youngest world No 1 in the sport’s history.
Then, Littler made sure to do the double over Humphries in one day as he came alive in the key moments, 167 and 160 checkouts plus five breaks of throw showing just why he is considered the best out there in the longer format.
The Grand Slam final marked the sixth major final the two Lukes have faced each other in, adding to the World Darts Championship final, two Premier League finals, the Players Championship finals, and World Grand Prix final.
With Littler’s victory, the record is now level at 3-3, with Littler having the Premier League, World Grand Prix, and Grand Slam to his name.
It marks Littler’s second time lifting the Eric Bristow Trophy, adding to his 16-3 drubbing of Martin Lukeman in 2024.
By going back-to-back, Littler has also joined the esteemed list of Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price that have defended their title in Wolverhampton.
Not only that, he still remains undefeated in this major.
